Life was pretty scary after my dad was injured at work and we had no income. We were always trying to budget with the savings we had but it only got us so far. When we found Brighton Center, my family was really struggling financially. Brighton Center helped us get food on the table, get presents during the holidays, and get clothing on our backs.

After we found Brighton Center, we knew that we would never go hungry or go without. Brighton Center was able to give us the tools and strength to get back on our feet. They are a lifeline for so many people, especially my family. My mom even had the opportunity to receive an education so that she could chase her dreams and get a career she loves. Brighton Center has helped us rebuild our lives.

Brighton Center has enriched my life in more way than one. I always struggled with the thought of college. During these hard times, Brighton Center awarded me with The Jean Brown Memorial Scholarship which I have used to pay for both textbooks and tuition in college. It is such an honor to represent an amazing organization through this scholarship.

Brighton Center has been such an amazing helping hand for my family and they always have done so without judgement or hesitation. My life went from being scary and unsure to brighter and more definite. With Brighton Center, I almost feel that my family was given a second chance at life and that we had someone that believed in us. I am most proud to support Brighton Center with this scholarship and I will make them proud.
